Way More Gems than You'd ThinkWe purchased these to be glued, using tacky fabric glue, to string backpacks and fabric hats, along with google eyes. The larger gems popped off the drawstring bags as soon as the kids pulled the strings tight, but stayed on the hats really well. We thought the kids would fight over the big gems, but most of them liked the smaller ones because they could create a more elaborate design out of them. You have to use enough fabric glue that it makes a white ring around the gem. It will dry clear and retract, so any less glue, and the gems will pop back off. Overnight dry time is highly recommended. We also found that gluing them to unpainted fabric had the best results. We bought 2 packages for 37 kids, with 2 packages of google eyes, and had lots left over.

Some of the larger ones had holes at either end, but the vast majority did not. They have a coating of silver to make them sparkle, but the plastic would shatter if you tried to drill holes in them. We found that using a healthy amount of fabric glue, enough to make a white ring around the gem, was sufficient to hold them on. Unpainted fabric had better adhesion. We used them on several projects and the only ones that popped off were the ones that had insufficient glue or were glued to fabric that was gathered or used as a flexible medium.

Are they sturdy enough to be used in a Mosaic design?

Asked by: AMSW63

The gems are made from hard plastic with a silver coating on the back to make them sparkle. If your mosaic is over a hard surface, and you plan to use enough glue that it rings the gems (or serves as a tile grout), they will hold up really well. They are not sturdy enough to be used on step-stones, so if that's your project, you will need to invest in glass or ceramic gems and tile squares. We used them on fabric hats and they did really well, as long as the kids used enough fabric glue. On another project, we had trouble with the plastic separating from the silver layer when we glued them over flexible cotton fabric that was to be gathered with a drawstring. No matter how much glue we used, the flexing popped them off, sometimes entirely and sometimes leaving a silver skin behind. So if you are using them on an inflexible surface that won't be stepped on, you should be fine. Invest in lots of glue/grout to get the most permanent attachment possible.
